In AN 3:47 it says that there are 3 characteristics of saṅkhata (uppādo, vayo, ṭhitassa aññathattaṃ)
Arising, passing away, alteration while staying.
What, if any, significance of "alteration while staying" being listed last? Wouldn't it make more sense to change the order to:
"Arising, alteration while staying, passing away"?
Thanks,
viewtopic.php?t=44877Trinities can take many different forms: it can be science, religion and philosophy. It can be body, soul and mind. It can be arising, persisting and ceasing. It can be creating, preserving and destruction. These are always interchangeable. You can always ask: why arising is not cessation or persisting, until you realize it is meaningless question.
Does this mean when we say arising it also means something else is persisting and ceasing etc?
This means this is due to self-view and ignorance we see things as arising, persisting, and ceasing.
